Hi. In Mathematica, one could use Angle Angle Side.

AASTriangle[90 Degree,24 Degree, 46] //N

Triangle[{{0.,0.},{42.0231,0.},{0.,18.7099}}]

This is the corresponding input.

This doesn't seem to be a particularly satisfying solution, but it does get an answer in two steps

Triangle 90 degree 24 degree 66 degree

which calculates hypotenuse==.430982 p, x==.175296 p and y==.393722 p

then

{0.430982 p, 0.175296 p, 0.393722 p} = {46, x, y}

which calculates x == 18.7099 and y == 42.0231

<<<edit, typo corrected>>>
